Brief Summary of Each Supplement
Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement No. 125
Microscopic Studies of the Interacting Boson Model
Edited by T. Mizusaki and T. Otsuka
The Interacting Boson Model is a unique framework which can be used for
describing a variety of low-lying states of various nuclei in an unified way.
Since its birth, it has contributed significantly to
the study of the nuclear structure.
These contributions stem from its simplicity and its
group theoretical character, while the primary contributions are in
phenomenological description of collective states.
However, the nucleus is a finite quantum system where nucleons interact
strongly. Thus, the interrelationship between the Interacting Boson Model
and the nucleon degrees of freedom in nuclei, usually referred to as
the microscopic study of the Interacting Boson Model,
is one of the important issues for the success of this model
This supplement is organized over various works on this issue.
As for the nature of this series of supplements, relevant articles
written by physicists in Japan are collected:
a pre-historical document,
a review of the boson mappings, tests of the various
boson Mappings and their applications to the real nuclei.
